Yep, it is official, today Ben started his regular school career, which in my family we defined as more of a “sentence.”  And to my great surprise, I received not one call from the principal, nor the police.  All in all, it was a pretty great day.

Amanda dropped him off, as she wanted to walk him to his room.  She was worried he would not be able to get there, and I was against it as it was probably his first and only chance to escape.  I mean, speaking from experience, once a teacher and all those administrative types know your name the leash gets quite a bit tighter.  PLUS….he milks the doting for all it is worth.  He swears he cannot remember his home room number, yet he remembers every single solitary detail about Spiderman and every other superhero.  And, in addition to that, all I need to do is offer a small bribe of some type and he suddenly remembers.  He is a pro……

So I picked him up.  He was wearing his backpack on the FRONT, and looked sort of like a paratrooper….if paratroopers were that short and wore Transformer backpacks that is.  He was in a group of other kindergartners and he of course was the second one to get corralled back into the herd as he, sure enough, started to wander on his own.   (It is not unexpected as he often has to leave to fight crime.)

But I hope you enjoy the pictures and I have a video too, but it will not on this site.  It however is great!!  The video is when I took him for an ice cream……and if you listen carefully, he tells me that he has graduated.

Pretty darn good for day one!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
